The range of Drone.UA equipment has been replenished with a line of hyperspectral sensors HSS (Hyper Spectral Sensors) for aircraft and multi-rotor unmanned platforms.
A hyperspectral sensor, unlike visual spectrum sensors, or NIR modified sensors, has a wider range of sensitivity, both in the visual spectrum and spectral ranges, invisible to the human eye. The sensor system has the ability to receive data in the range from 350 to 800 nm, in the form of 450 independent channels with separate sensitivity fixation for each wavelength.
The use of this equipment increases the accuracy and expands the possibilities of remote sensing of the earth when using drones, with the possibility of recording detailed spectral indicators of various crops and pathological conditions.
"Each set of spectral indicators is a kind of signature" of certain physiological states of plants or physicochemical properties of the soil. This allows you to replace many ground analyzes with one flight of the drone, and the service capabilities of Drone.UA move to a new level in the processes of precision agriculture." - says Valeriy Yakovenko, co-founder of Drone.UA
The new series of equipment are modular systems and are installed in PD1900 aircraft platforms, and are also available for use on all popular unmanned systems.
Drone.UA is starting a project to create a library of spectra of various crops according to different growth indicators and growing conditions, remote determination of soil types. Thus, the use of sensors of the HSS-450 series provides an opportunity to remotely analyze the type of soil, pathologies of plant development, as well as the need for micro and macro elements.
The equipment is available for all new and existing platforms.
